Thanks to everyone who replied. You were most helpful. The page is up and clickable and the image replacement technique is filed away for future reference.

Any suggestions? > If that is to be a link and crucial content - why is it a background image? I had issues in the past where we needed to use background images in CSS and a link above them. The solution was to use a real text link, and position it absolute above the image in the layout. As your logo is not somewhere in the content but at a fixed position, this is not much of a problem to do: <a id="nh" href="bla.html">New Heights Start Page</a> #nh{ position:absolute; top:20px; left:20px; width:100px; height:70px; overflow:hidden; text-indent:-200px; } or any other image replacement technique. It is a hack, but makes both parties happy. -- Chris Heilmann Blog: http://www.wait-till-i.com Writing: http://icant.co.uk/ Binaries: http://www.onlinetools.org/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
